Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that the Helsinki Committee in Poland and the
Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights are organizing the 13th International

The School is intended for human rights activists, teachers and young
lawyers from Central, Eastern European and CIS countries.

Our program combines lectures and discussions on the historical and
philosophical background of human rights, domestic systems of protection
of human rights, international systems of protection of human rights, and
aspects of some selected rights: rights of minorities, rights of refugees
etc. (See: program below).

English, Russian and Polish are the languages of our Summer School.
Ability to communicate well in one of the above languages is required.

The organizers will cover round-trip travel expenses (train or air -
economy rates), accommodation in double rooms and meals.

The School will be held in Warsaw-Miedzeszyn, Poland, on 7 ­ 14
September 2002.

Please find an enclosed application form which you should send back
to our Foundation by 30 June 2002 (deadline) by e-mail or post
